and a few other updates for the past Weekend!

Besides mothers day we did have a very busy weekend!

Saturday Riley and I were on the road early to run errands, pick up her organic veggies for another batch of bananas and squash, a Babies R Us run, and then to Keara (Carrie's daughters) First Communion Party. We had a great time, it was nice to visit with everyone, have some of Carries awesome meatballs~which she is famous for, and see Keara darling all dressed up!



Then it was over to Travis & Nicoles to meet the new baby Carter! He sure is a cutie! It seems amazing to me that Riley used to be that small. She looked like a toddler compared to him. Im really glad to have another girlfriend in the area with a new baby!








Once we got home, Auntie Elisa was there to visit with Riley for a bit, and it was bed time for both of us, as we were exhausted and had a busy day for Sunday lined up!


Sunday morning we headed to church at 10 am. Kennie and I have been hunting for a new church, first because we really want to visit church on more of a weekly basis because we realize how much a huge part of our life god is, and we want to be closer to him. So while talking with our neighbors(the farmers that we love!), Vickie told me about the church they go to, so we decided to attend with them! It was just the church we were looking for, lots of music, a band playing and a pastor, that puts the bible in our terms, and an actual message! So now that we have found a church, that we love, we will be going on more of a regular basis! In fact, Riley and I went to service on Wednesday night!

After church my parents, grandpa Eddie and brother came over to celebrate mothers day and Moms birthday! Of course the afternoon focused on Riley, but she managed to take a long nap while we had lasagna that my mom brought! She was up for cake and blowing out the candles though! Just when I thought we couldnt possibly do anything else fun for the weekend, we headed down to the neighbors to pick up the 1/4 cow we bought. Its always fun when you head down to the farm!! All the guys were outside hitting golf balls while the mothers sat around chatting and having coffee, the perfect ending to a great weekend!! The weekends are becoming so packed with summer knocking on our door, and Im actually starting to give up on things around the house and spend my weekends enjoying my Riley, and our friends and family!
